New MOOC - ‘The EU in Changing Times’: In section 1.5, Elettra Bargellini explains the evolution of #Brexit, focusing on the two main treaties. First, the Withdrawal Agreement (January 2020) - which laid the groundwork for the UK’s formal exit, addressing the financial settlement, citizens’ rights, and the Northern Ireland Protocol. The latter’s implementation has been controversial, as it was crucial to checking on goods moving from Great Britain to Northern Ireland at risk of being introduced into the Republic of Ireland, meaning the EU Single Market, while respecting the Belfast Good Friday Agreement. The solution came in 2023 with the adoption of the Windsor Framework. Second, the Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) – negotiated during the 11-month transition period, marked the UK's departure from the EU Single Market and Customs Union (except for Northern Ireland). As we approach 2026, the TCA 'rendezvous clause' offers a chance to review and expand UK-EU cooperation.

The EU General Court is, for the first time, starting to resolve questions of European law submitted by Member State courts. The Vice President of the General Court, Europe's second-highest court, explained the new procedure and what it means for European Law in remarks at the DCU Brexit Institute. I summarized the event.

The Institute of European Studies is one of the beneficiaries to receive funding from the European Union (EU) to establish the Jean Monnet Network called PROSPER (Project to Research Opportunities to Strengthen Prosperity and Economic Resilience in the EU), coordinated by Dublin City University Brexit Institute & Dublin European Law Institute under the lead of Professor Federico Fabbrini. It involves 12 academic institutions from 12 different EU member states. Dr Natasza Styczynska, is to be the university’s academic lead. The aim of this network of 12 academic institutions from 12 different EU member states is to strengthen knowledge sharing, promote best practices, and address contemporary challenges facing the EU through interdisciplinary research and educational initiatives. It focuses on exploring and enhancing economic resilience within the EU, by identifying and promoting strategies that can bolster economic stability and growth, particularly in the context of challenges such as globalisation, climate change, and economic disparities among member states. The multidisciplinary team of Jagiellonian University consists of dr Natasza Styczyńska (IES), prof. Katarzyna Zielińska (Institute of Sociology), dr Paulina Lenik (Taube Centre) and dr Marcin Zubek (IES). PROSPER is the only project that has received funding from the EU under the Jean Monnet internal network call of 2024. The 12 academic institutions that are involved are: Dublin City University (IE), Central European University (HU), Free University of Bolzano/Bozen (IT), University of Copenhagen (DK), Erasmus University Rotterdam (NL), Pompeu Fabra University (ES), Jagiellonian University Krakow (PL), Universitè Libre de Bruxelles (BE), University of Luxembourg (LU), Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg (DE), Université Paris-Est Creteil (FR), and Aristotele University of Thessaloniki (EL).
